The Horse and the Ass Story – A Tale of Humble Security
Once upon a time, a horse and an ass lived in a peaceful village. The horse was proud of its sleek coat and strong muscles, while the ass was humble and content with its simple life.
One day, a wealthy merchant came to the village and saw the horse. He was impressed by its beauty and offered a large sum of money to buy it. The offer tempted the horse, and she agreed to go with the merchant.
As the horse left the village with the merchant, it felt proud and excited about the luxurious life it would lead. But soon, it realized that the merchant was cruel and harsh. The horse had to pull a heavy cart and work long hours without rest. It was beaten when it didn’t perform well and was given little food and water. The horse realized it had made a big mistake by leaving its humble life behind.
Meanwhile, the ass continued to live a simple life in the village. It worked hard but was content with its life. It had plenty of food and water and was treated well by its owner.
One day, the horse escaped the merchant’s clutches and returned to the village. It was weak and tired, and its coat was no longer shiny. The ass saw the condition of the horse and felt sorry for it. The horse realized it had made a mistake by valuing wealth and luxury over humble security.
The story’s moral is that it’s better to be humble and content with what you have than to chase after materialistic things that may lead to danger and misery.
